To all whom it may concern:

is it known that 1, Lewis M. listens, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at the city of Baltimore, State of Maryland, have invented :ertain new and useful Improvements in (Jarbureters for internal-Combustion Engines, of which the following is a specification.

[his invention relates to carbureters for internal combustion engines, and particularly to the type of carburetor which consists of an air passage in which liquid fuel is presented to an air current.

The carburetor of my invention consists of an air passage, a fuel delivery therein, a fuel valve, a valve for controlling the air passage, operating means for the two valves connecting them and moving them together, and independent means for adjusting the operating means whereby the motion of one valve relatively to the other may be varied. Such variation is preferably accomplished without changing the lead of the fuel valve.

An important feature of my invention consists in an adjustment of the fuel valve relatively to the operating means to determine its lead.

In the carburetor herein shown and de scribed, and in connection with which my invention has been reduced to practice, the fuel valve is controlled by means of a cam, and the throw of this cam may be adjusted to vary the movement of the fuel valve relatively to that of the throttle.

ln the preferred form of my invention the cam is pivoted to swing, the pivot being transverse to the throw of the fuel valve.

The latter is provided with a follower which coiiperates with the cam to open and close the fuel valve as the throttle or air valve is opened and closed, the cam follower being so placed that at low throttle when the fuel valve is in its initial position, the follower is over the cam ivot. lhe cam face is preferably concentric with the pivot at this point so that adjustment of the cam does not vary the lead of the fuel valve. \Vhcu the carburcter is used on motor cars, it often happens as in climbing hills, etc., that while speed is reduced increased pressure in the cylinder, and hence a richer mixture is desired. But under these circumstances, if the air valve and fuel valve are opened correspondingly, the speed of the .ened.

' tially constant.

7 that flowing through the secondary air pas-- air is reduced and the mixture is wea To provide for these conditions, I. supply means for temporarily raising the cam to give an increased opening of the fuel valve.

In the construction of my carbureter I have found it desirable to divide the entering air into two currents of which one only comes in contact with the fuel nozzle and acts as a vehicle for the hydrocarbon. The two currents are later combined and mixed before entering the engine cylindcr. For convenience, these two currents may be referred to as primary and secondary air, respectively. At low throttle the secondary air is preferably cut off or largely reduced. By thus dividing the air pas sage and placing the fuel nozzle or delivery in one of the two air passages, and cutting off the flow to the other passage at low throttle, I am enabled to secure a sufficient flow in the vicinity of the nozzle at low throttle to maintain the mixture substan- At high speed or open throttle the increased current by the nozzle is sufficient to take up enough hydrocarbon to still maintain the mixture constant when the air thus carbureted is combined with sage. in the carburetor which I have shown and described, the throttle valve and the valve controlling the secondary air passage are formed integral. However, the air and throttle valve may be differently arranged within the scope of my invention, and the combined current may be difierently controlled.

A carburetor embodying various features of my invention in its preferred form is shown in the accompanying drawingsz Figure 1 is a vertical axial cross-section through the carbureter taken on the line 1,1 of Fig. 2. Fig-f2 is a plan. Fig. 3 is a vertical axial cross-section through the valve chamber and air passages taken on the line 3, 3 of Fig. 4. Fig. 'l is a fragmentary horizontal section on the line 4-, 4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary elevation of the carburetor looking from the di" rection of the air inlet. Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the float valve; Fig. 7 is an elevation of the carbureter.

The carbureter shown in the drawings consists of an air passage 1 in which is a ering into the chamber 3, a secondary air inlet 6 to the mixing chan'iber and a delivery T. The intake end of the air passage 1 is preferably circular, as shown, and though divided into two passages l and (3, is

adapted to be served by a single pipe and a' single current of air which is divided at the mouths of the passages l and (5. \Vithin the mixing chamber 3, the walls of which as Shown are cylindrical, is a valve member 8 also cylindrical in form and fitting the cylindrical walls 9 of the chamber. The valve 8 has inlet and outlet openings 10 and 11 registering with the secondary air inlet and the delivery, respectively. The delivery valve opening 11 is formed with a lead notch 12,- and the openings 10 and ll are so placed that when the fuel opening l1 registers with the delivery 7, the valve opening 10 registers with the secondary inlet (3- so that the air passage 1' is tree in all its branches and the maximum current of air is flowing through the carburetor. \Vhen the valve 8 is rotated so that the opening 11 is moved out of registration with the delivery 7, the lead notch 12 is opened by being brought over the delivery and the secondary inlet 6 is closed, the opening 10 being moved out of registration. To limit the oscillation of the valve as described, the coverlil of the chamber 3 is provided with stops 14, and the cylinder or barrel-valve 8 is provided with cooperating stops 15. The hood 5 is preferably carried by the barrel 'valve 8 integral with its bottom wall 16 or attached thereto, so that the hood may be removed with the barrel to permit inspection of the nozzle when setting the level of the liquid. The hood has an outlet opening 17 disposed toward the de livery valve opening 11. Itv will be noted that the free area of the hood in the hori zontal plane ofthe nozzle opening is sub stantially equal to the area of the primary air inlet 4, and that the combined areas of the inlets 4 and 6 are substantially equal to the a ten of the delivery 7. In this way the speed of the air flowingthrough the carbureter is maintained as nearly uniform at the different points of itspath as possible, and loss of speed and power from eddying and. unnecessary friction are in a large measure avoided. he'valve 8 is provided with a neck 18 axially placed and extending upward through the cover 13. Secured to the neck by means of a split collar 19 is a horizontal hand lever 20. Pivotally mounted on the lever 20 to swing in a radial plane of the axis of the barrel-valve 8 is the fuel valve lever 21. Threaded in the nut 22 which is mounted on trunnions 23 in the fuel valve lever 21 is the fuel valve 24. This is shown in the form of a needle valve which passes downward through avcentral verticalopening 25 in the neck 18 of the barrehvalve and engages a seat .26 in the tip of the non-- Zle The upper end of the stem 28 of the valve 2% has a knurled head 25) for manual adjustment, and a loch-nut is provided for maintaining the valve in adjustment. It will be apparent that when the fuel valve lever 21 is supported by any suitable means as hereinafter described, the fuel valve may be adjusted up and down by turning it in the trunnion nut 22.

Mounted on the cover 13 is a fuel valve actuating device shown in the form of a cam 31. This is pivotally mounted at 32 to swing up and down. The. cam 31 is adjusted about its pivot 32 by means of a screw 33 threaded in a lug 3 carried by the cam and bearing against a suitable abutment 35 on the cover 13. A second arm 36 ot' the lever 20 carries near its extremity uprights 3?, one on each side of the fuel valve lever ll. Supported on the upper extremity of these uprights is a nut 38 in which is threaded a hollow screwcap 39 within which is a COIlIPI't'SrllOll spring 40 hearing downward against the top of the fuel valve lever 21' At the extremity ol the lever 21 is a follower -11 engaging the cam 31 and maintained in contact therewith by the action of the spring -10.

It will be apparent that as the barrelvalve is oscillated by manual operation of the lever 20 or otherwise, the lollowcr 41 will be moved over the cam 31, and the fuel valve 24- opened and closed, and preferably the parts are so arranged relatively to each other that at low throttle the follower ll bears on the surface ol the cam adjacent the pivot 32 and prel'erably the cam surface at this point isconstructcd in the form of an arc concentric with the pivot. lherefore the fuel valve opening or lead atlow throt tie is constant except for the adjustment described, relatively to the lever 21 by means of the nut 22. As the valve 8 is rotated and the throttle and secondary air inlet openings increased toward maximum, the fuel valve isopened by the action oi the cam, and fuel in proportion to the air is supplied.

Under certain circumstances which occur comparatively infrequently, as changes of season, etc., requiring variation in the richness of the mixture, it is found desirable to adjust the ratio of the openings of the fuel and throttle or air inlet valve. 'lo accom' plish this I turn the cam about its pivot 32 by means of the screw 33 or otherwise vary the throw of the cam. 'In this connection it is important to note that under all adjustments of the cam, the initial opening of the fuel valve is constant as rotation of the cam about its pivot 32 does not affect the position of the cam follower 4-1,

llo

messes In hill climbing it frequently becomes necessary to temporarily increase the opening of the fuel valve beyond that given by the cam 31. This is to develop greater power at somewhat reduced speed, and it may be accomplished invarious ways. I have provided an oscillating wedge or cam 90 which serves to swing the valve cam about -its pivot and temporarily change the relative motions of the valves as the lever 20 is operated. The cam 90 is on a radial arm 91 pivoted on the hub 19 of the lever -2O. The wedge is controlled by a lever 92 which may be connected by suitable means not shovvn to the dash board of the car. The Wedge or cam 90 is normally out of engagement and is onlyused when a particularly heavy mixture is desired temporarily.

Previous to adjusting the variousv valvecontrolling means, I first set the level of the fuel at the tip of the nozzle 2. To do this I remove the cover 13 and the barrel-valve with the hood 5 so that the tip of the nozzle is exposed. I then adjust the fioat valve as hereinafter described. When this is done, I loosen the lock-nut 30 and turn the needle valve down against the seat 26. Turning the needle valve stem slightly further, the cam follower is raised pcrceptibly, showing that the valve has reached a hearing. I then rotate the valve stem backward until the follower returns to the cam surface, note the position of the parts, and rotate the valve stem backward about half a turn. Near this position the lock-nut is set after testing for efficiency. It should be understood that the barrel-valve is during this adjustment in the position of low throttle. The adjustment of the-needle valve when once accomplished, is practically permanent. The next adjust ment is that of the fuel valve cam. To get the best results this should receive attention several times a year. To adjust thetuel valve cam 31, the engine is started and run under maximum, minimum and intermediate loads, the cam being moved until the most ellicient running position is found.

To control the level of the liquid, 1 provide a float valve shown in sectional elevation in Fig. 1. a fuel chamber 50 in which is a float 51. In the fuel supply past-age 5Q-is a float valve 54 pressed against its so t by means or a com 'n-ession spring The latter is supported by means of a screw-plug 56 which is Centrallyapertured at :37 to receive the valve spindle the aperture 57 being closed by a screw 52). The spindle 58 extends above the valve protruding from the plug 60011 which the valve seat is formed. The float 51 is pivotally connected at 61 to a lever 62 fulcrumed at 33. The lever 62 ,carries a bearing point or pin 64 in line with the valve spindle to engage the tip 5 of the same. The pin is threaded in the leyer and is slotted at 66 In the carburetor body is so that it may be rotated and moved back and forth in the lever by means of the thread, and a lock-nut 67 holds the pin in adjusted position. ln the top wall of the carbureter overthe pin 0- is an aperture (39 threaded to receive a plug 70 which is bored axially to receive a pin 71 known in the art as a. primer. The pin has a head 72 and an abutment 73 to prevent its escape from the plug, and its length is considerably in excess of that of the plug. A spiral compression spring 74 encircling the pin between its head and the plug, maintains it normally in raised position with the lower abutment against the bottom of the plug. The operation of the primer is apparent. In starting,

pressure on the head 72 depresses the lever 62, moving the bearing point (34: against the top of the valve spindle, and opens the iloat valve to give an initial excess supply of fuel.

it will be noted that the float valve St is pressed against its seat by the spring 55,

maintaining the fuel passage normally closed. When the fuel in the chamber 50 stands at the desired level, 2'. a. so as to bring the liquid up. to the lips of the nozzle 2, the lever 62 is supported with the bearing pin 6-1 just out of contact with the tip 65 of the spindle 58 of the valve 54. When the level of the. liquid falls in the slightest degree, the float will move down-Ward correspondingly, and the valve 5l will be immc diately opened by contact of pin (ll with the tip (35, to give the requisite supply or fuel. In this connection it will be noted that the tension of the spring need be only sullicicnt to lift the valve into position on its seat so that vibration of the float, due to various causes, does not force the valve against its seat, and the bearing surfaces of the valve and seat are not injured in this way. It will also be a parent that to adjust the level of the liquid it is not necessary to change the tension of the spring, such adjustment being obtained by removing the cover to the float chamber and changing the contour of the lever 62, or the equivalent, changing the relative positions or" the points (ll, 63 and (34. Another important feature of this device is found in the relative positions of the primary and secondary air passages, or more particularly, their inlet ends. The inlets are located immediately adjacent each other and may be supplied by a single current of air which may be introduced by a single. pipe communicating with both inlets or may be otherwise directed. Thus at open throttle when the secondary air is at maximum, the secondary current serves as a carrier for the primary air, thereby increasing the primary air supply at open throttle, with a beneficial result in the increased quantity of hydrocarbon'introduced into the mixture at this time.
